Chapter 167: Self-Blindness
Master Bai smiled and said:
"No, no, he's a friend of my apprentices, and my apprentices are still behind."
The next player to take the stage was a bit of a loser, he was huge, holding a large iron ball on his chest, and slowly climbed the ring.
Chen Zhan had observed this player before because he was very conspicuous.
And he also made Yan Shuangqi look at it, as a way to show that Yan Shuangqi will face the problem of a big heavyweight opponent.
"Why do you like to get an iron lump up now? This is your apprentice? ”
Bai Xianguo recalled:
"He has not been under my door for a long time, and the people in the rivers and lakes call him the 'King of Stone Balls'."
"In fact, at the beginning of his martial arts studies, he wanted to worship our Bai family, but his talent is not good, he can't feel our Bai family's 'Trinity Mixed Yuan Strength', and his talent is not enough, so I confiscate him."
"He was very frustrated, I said, don't feel discouraged, you practice the stone ball, the stone ball is like a Tai Chi ball, through the weight, to simulate the existence of the Tai Chi ball."
"He practiced according to my suggestions, and then the Trinity Tai Chi Jin felt it, and his internal strength was also profound, and now he will change it to iron."
"The essence of our Bai family's kung fu is to focus on restraint, and rarely engage in this kind of formalism."
Bai Xianguo stretched out his hand and smiled.
"Speaking of this Tai Chi ball, Master Xiao Chen, you see that I also have a Tai Chi ball in my hand."
Chen Zhan saw that on the palm of Master Bai's right hand, there was a round sarcoma, which was larger than a glass bead.
"Master, why are you such a big bag, it's a sarcoma, right? Doesn't it usually hurt? ”
"Eh, it's okay, this is called Tai Chi Ball, which contains Tai Chi strength, which is the result of my years of practice, and ordinary people can't get it."
Bai Xianguo's hand skin is very thick, and a big bag bulges out under the thick hand skin, and it is very round.
Seeing this scene is also amazing enough.
Chen Zhan took a closer look at the "Tai Chi Ball", which is located not far from the tiger's mouth, and there are even lines on it.
"Master, your career line and lifeline are quite tortuous, not only around the corner, but also climbing!"
"Hey, I don't believe in those palmistries or anything, they're all lies," after that, Master Bai put his hand away, thought about it for a while, spread it out again, and asked, "Do you want to take pictures?" ”
"Huh?"
Chen Zhanxin said, what do you think? I'm not from the oncology department, so what are you doing with a tumor on an old man's hand?
"Let's stop shooting."
Master Bai smiled, inexplicably, and a little lonely in his tone:
"If you don't shoot, this image will never be found, I have made an appointment with the doctor at the central hospital, and tomorrow I will go under the knife to remove this Tai Chi ball."
"There's no need, such a precious Tai Chi ball, there is still Tai Chi Jin in it, how can you say go." Chen Zhan teased.
"Eh, if you cut it, you will cut it, my Tai Chi strength originates from heaven and earth, and I am trapped here, so let them return to heaven and earth."
"I'm old, I don't have the heart to be competitive anymore, I don't believe in palmistry, but I believe in medical treatment!"
Chen Zhan didn't know whether to nod or shake his head, and unconsciously moved his neck, this 69-year-old Master Bai is often full of nonsense, but deep down he still believes in science.
While the two were chatting, another disciple jumped up on the stage.
He looks fierce, wears boxing pants, boxing gloves, and is shirtless.
Directly against another sparring partner, a storm of combination punches.
Looking at his crisp and neat appearance, there is no grotesque behavior of the people in the martial arts before.
Bai Xianguo introduced:
"This disciple is called Jiao Ping."
"He's also your disciple?"
Chen Zhan is a little strange, Master Bai has such a non-mainstream apprentice who plays iron ball, he is not surprised.
But this kind of practice of modern martial arts techniques, why worship him as a teacher from the head of an ancient martial arts school? The two are not a system at all, and the relationship is extremely poor.
Bai Xianguo recalled:
"A year ago, Jiao Ping was a little famous in their local area, but not as famous as mine."
"He watched my video on the Internet, and did some research, and heard that I was a martial arts master, so he didn't accept me and came to my kicking gym."
"I said it's okay to fight, let's bet, if he loses, he will worship me as a teacher, and if I lose, he will worship him as a teacher."
"As a result, like an avocado, I couldn't do it at all, and I surrendered, that video is still on the Internet, attracting tens of millions of views, and now Jiao Ping is also popular, with hundreds of thousands of fans."
After listening to Bai Xianguo, Chen Zhan understood Jiao Ping's motives.
He used the banner of ancient martial arts to promote himself.
created a gimmick to kick the gym, originally with his physique, he could easily promise to an old man of Master Bai's age, but he deliberately pretended that he couldn't beat it.
To worship Bai Xianguo as a teacher is to make him famous.
Apparently, he also succeeded.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, he became a boxer with a stalk and material.
It is because of the continuous flattery and use of this kind of person that Bai Xianguo fell into the character of a martial arts master and a generation of star heads.
Blind confidence in one's own abilities begins to swell.
Therefore, this old man, who is close to ancient times, is becoming more and more abnormal in the eyes of outsiders.
After chatting with Bai Xianguo and in-depth analysis, Chen Zhan felt that he knew Bai Xianguo better.
Chen Zhan's sharp evaluation of him was that the other party was a martial arts "patient".
Bai Xianguo is willing to act, play a dream of promoting martial arts, and is deeply involved in it, and the more he goes, the more he goes.
In the end, he was praised by his disciples as the "altar".
Of course, how high you hold it, how hard you fall.
Previously, Chen Zhan met Yonglin, a qigong master, who was a similar person, often performing on stage when one person pushed down more than two dozen strong young men, taking the opportunity to defraud money.
It is said that now Yonglin has passed away.
Learn some kung fu, don't follow the right path, deceive people, do evil things, can you have an old age?
Chen Zhan suddenly had a little doubt about the many chaos in the martial arts.
What exactly is the right way of martial arts?
Thinking about it, how can there be any righteous way, natural selection, and the way that can survive is the martial arts.
Chen Zhan hesitated, he decided to help Master Bai, Master Bai deceived the world and stole his name, and deceived himself to the point.
He wanted to see if this foolish old man could be saved.
"Master Bai, I have a little tip for you, you have to be careful in the ring no matter what, don't be attacked in the face, if you fall down twice, don't insist, hurry up and quit the game, if you can't bear it, you will make a big plan, by the way, especially pay attention to a person in his fifties, he may be your old enemy."
"Thank you, Master Chen, for mentioning it, I will definitely pay attention." As if he understood, Master Bai hugged his fist at Chen Zhan and arched his hand.
explained in such detail, in Chen Zhan's opinion, he had already helped Bai Xianguo to the limit.
The show goes on.
Without the prepared players like Master Bai's apprentices, the excitement of martial arts performances has decreased a lot.
Many martial arts performances are saved by the contestants on the spot and played temporarily.
Most of them are just two-person fights and sparring.
People from different sects and types of martial arts can't fight together, which makes people scratch their heads.
Some of the older beaters who came to participate in the competition simply played Tai Chi on the stage with a group of masters.
It's over after three minutes.
Several judges looked at the identities and status of the beaters and gave a good score.
Gradually, Chen Zhan could see the helplessness of the program team.
This form of competition is also a way to do it.
Since the martial arts conference has been added by netizens with the word "world", it is necessary to formulate a rule that so many martial arts and sects are put together.
Moreover, there are also some trembling elderly martial arts masters involved, and if you let a strong young man in his early twenties fight them, it will hurt his muscles and bones lightly.
Personal accident insurance can be typed out in dozens of copies, and the insurance company is not allowed to pay for death.
However, there is also a saying that this situation belongs to the policyholder's active involvement in the insurance, which is equivalent to "self-surrender", and the insurance company will not settle the claim.
Chen Zhan looked at various skills.
Except for the people of the sect and modern fighters.
The performances of the Jianghu people are still very rich.
There are ventriloquists, fire-spitting, magic tricks, and so on.
Whether in the past or now, many people who have walked the rivers and lakes have a certain amount of kung fu.
They are full of kung fu, and when they have the opportunity, they will rob the rich and help the poor, and do chivalrous deeds.
If you don't have the opportunity, you can immediately go to the street to perform your talent and make money.
Chen Zhan gradually gained a certain understanding of the contestants, covered his head, and fell into deep thought.
Nowadays, after all, there is no ancient atmosphere of the rivers and lakes, and there are very few people who practice martial arts.
According to his observations, there are not many masters on the scene.
And next, a performance caught Chen Zhan's attention.
Carrying a sword on his back, dressed in a simple way, and out of place with the other players on the scene, those mysterious people appeared.
